Renewing or editing due dates of non cataloged items affects cataloged items

[Mary Jinglewski]

In the Items Out screen of a patron account, checked out items - both cataloged items and non-cataloged items - can be viewed. If only non-cataloged items are checked out to the patron, then the "Actions for Selected Items" menu cannot appear for non-cataloged items when selected.

If both cataloged and non cataloged items are checked out to the patron, noncataloged items have the ability to be selected, and then menu options from "Actions for Selected Items" can be applied to them, which includes "Edit Due Date" and "Renew" actions.

If "Edit Due Date" action is selected for a non-cataloged item, no error message appears. Instead the normal "Enter a new due date for these items:" display appears with a item barcode mentioned in the display. Applying the new due date changes not the non-cataloged item, but the due date of a barcoded, cataloged item currently checked out to the patron, previously indicated in the Edit Due Date display.

If "Renew" action is selected for a non-catalogued item, no error message appears either. Instead, the due date of a barcoded, cataloged item currently checked out to the patron is changed to the correct 'renewed' due date instead of the selected non-cataloged item.

This behavior has been observed in Evergreen versions 2.7 and 2.9.

Tested in 3.6.4 (Chrome), precat renewals and date due edits appear to behave as expected.

Testing steps:

1 - opened patron account with 2 existing precat circs (both with non-default circ mods applied)
2 - checked out cataloged item
3 - selected and renewed one precat circ
     3.1 - precat circ renewed according to circ mod as expected
     3.2 - no change to cataloged item circ
4 - selected and edited due date of other precat circ
     4.1 - precat circ due date updated as expected with supplied date
     4.2 - no change to cataloged item circ
5 - checked in cataloged circ
6 - Actions menu available for precat circs, both selecting a record and using the Actions menu, and by right clicking on a record
7 - both edit due date and renew functioned as expected, affecting only selected record

Testing in 3.12, and like Lindsay, I cannot reproduce the behavior with either precats or non-cat checkouts. All items renewed as expected and no renewals inadvertently caused a renewal of other items. I think this can be marked as invalid/won't fix.
